I'm not a pistol shooter by a long shot, If I can keep all my rounds in the 8,9,10 ring on the NRA 50 Bullseye Rapid/Time fire target I'm a happy camper.

(That's with one hand standing)

For my pocket revolver I use a HP 200 yard reduced to 100 yard target at 15 yards, I can keep all the shots out of my 642 in the black one handed. The black on that target is about 5.75 inchs.

I use the same target practicing for ICORE and Steel matches at 10 yards. All I need to do is keep them in the black. Most plates used in those type matches are 6 inches or better.

A dicent bullseye shooter will keep all his rounds in the 10-X ringe of the NRA 50 Ft Rapid/Timed fire target................I'm not one of them.
